Join us for a story time with local author Susan Newman!
This program is recommended for ages 3-10. All children must be accompanied by a caregiver. ASL interpretation will accompany the reading.
Join local author Susan Newman for a reading of The Adventures of Darla the Deaf Dog. This children’s book is about an adorable deaf Old English Sheepdog learning to navigate life's daily adventures with the help of sign language. The book teaches a variety of basic signs that anyone ages four and up can learn easily. The book is beautifully illustrated with minimal text.
Susan Newman has dedicated over forty years of her life to working with deaf and hard-of-hearing children and their families. Darla was a long-awaited gift to Susan for her 40th birthday. Susan always wanted an Old English Sheepdog as a child.
Darla was born in Netarts Bay, Oregon and lived a long, happy life until the age of 13. Susan currently lives and teaches in Bend, Oregon. The Adventures of Darla the Deaf Dog is Susan's first Children's Book.
